John A. Pugsley - Chairman

Widely respected for his commitment to freedom, privacy and other libertarian ideals, John Pugsley is one of the Sovereign Society’s co-founders and currently serves as its Chairman. John’s long and successful career in finance and publishing began in 1975 with his personal monthly commentary on economic and political events, Common Sense Viewpoint, which boasted 30,000 subscribers at its peak.

Following his first book Common Sense Economics, which sold 150,000 copies, his second book, The Alpha Strategy, hit the New York Times bestseller list and remained on it for nine weeks in 1981. In 1988 he began a 10-year run publishing the John Pugsley's Journal, an investment and economic newsletter that covered a broad range of political, economic and investment topics. Today, in his capacity as Sovereign Society Chairman, John is continuously discovering outstanding companies around the world that are unknown, suppressed, and, most-often, totally avoided by brokers and advisors.
